Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add jasmine rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons. • Trim end of cos lettuce then separate leaves. • Thinly slice cucumber into sticks. Slice lime into wedges.

• In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add carrot to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover carrot. Set aside. TIP: Slicing the carrot very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• When rice has 5 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium then add ginger & lemongrass paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce and the water (for the pork) until combined, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat and add a squeeze of lime juice. Season with pepper. • Place bao buns on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 1 minute.

• Drain pickled carrot. Uncover, then gently halve the buns • Bring everything to the table. • Build your own plate with lettuce cups, garlic rice, bao buns, Thai pork larb, cucumber sticks, pickled carrot, crispy shallots, coriander, sesame dressing and remaining lime wedges. • If you’ve selected an add-on bundle, serve with garlicky soy broccoli stir-fry. Enjoy!
